We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor Dorado and Tintri VMstore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"It is an SSD array that has awesome performance, low submillisecond latency, and does what it is supposed to do. It just works, which is difficult for things to do anymore."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The back-end data reporting for Pure Storage is phenomenal. The data that you can see on the performance of your customers' array, so you can be proactive about upgrades or enhancements, and is a phenomenal tool to have access to as a partner. I haven't seen this type of stuff out of anything of the other storage systems."
"The reliability is very good."
"It is the SAN backbone for our company."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"At this point, I don't know anything that they could provide in a better way."
"The performance is good."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"The product offers good performance."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it deduces better, whereby it can be assigned six times the usable capacity, depending on the nature of the data."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"The price could be better."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"The product could always be faster."
"It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems."
"The speeds of the disks themselves need to be faster. The disks are not flash. When we opened our hard drive from the inclusion, I saw a converter, and it's not entirely flash."
"The solution's price could be better."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
